Older House, Older Wiring Does Well

I don't even have a slingbox. I was looking for a way to connect a Neuros OSD Media Center (6011000)to my router. Most recently I had it connectd with a long ethernet cord but I was a bit tired of worrying about the dogs deciding to eat it. I had also tried a wireless option but the number of...

"Great for extending your netwok!"

I have three of them (one four port and two one port)hooked up in my house and they work great. The network has rarely gone down. I had tried powerline devices before and they were inconsistent at best. I also tried wireless, but couldn't get a st

Tough to please

This may or may not work for you. I've got it working in my house. I've got a Netgear router upstairs in my bonus room hooked up to a Charter Cable box. My Dish reciever is downstairs in another section of my house. The Slinglink Turbo works fairly well; however, if I plug anything else into...

Perfect solution

I was skeptical when I bought this, I have been working with computers and electronics for 10 years and I could not imagine that it would work. But I had a room that I need to make into an office, with no way of running network into it. It is on the far end of the house from the router, and it...

Works as advertised.

Truly a "plug and play" device. I have an older sling box the was close to my router. After moving it to another room this device solved my wireing problems. The only issue is you have to plug the network end into the router directly. Going through a hub first won't work. Other than that, no...

The traditional routes to home networking - and all of its multimedia benefits - are wi-fi and Ethernet. The problem with wi-fi is that its domestic range is somewhat restricted. If your wireless router is too distant from the device that you want to

Easy as pie

Set up was so easy, 5 minutes at most and I was able to hook up my Dish receiver to the internet to download movies, and it works flawlessly.

I have no complaints about this product

The product was extremely easy to configure. Just plug both units in, connect the ethernet cables and your ready to go. It works great in place of a wireless extender. I have a Slingbox, Tivo and Linksys Wireless Access Point plugged into it and they are all work fine with it.I noticed someone...

Delivers what is promised

My router must be upstairs in a particular room, because my work computer must be a wired connection, but all of my other devices are downstairs. I fought MANY battles with my wireless network devices, which worked fine sometimes, and not others. Due to the location of everything, the signal...
